This guy is mentally disturbed and though he may be young, he has probably done other disturbing things and the people around him know he's got problems. So what do they do, they give him a baby to take care of. Did his parents, grandparents, friends or girl friend even think this might not be a good idea? I'm sure they are all throwing the arms in the air wailing "why, he's such a good kid."

Fark them all.

Even worse - they probably thought that being in charge of a baby would help change him.

I have a feeling this thread will be hilarious until it is instantly horrifying then uncomfortably funny and back to depressing again.

/at least he still has both eyes

For now. He has both eyes for now...

/ the kid's skull is fractured and he's got a hemorrhage in his brain; he's also 1 month old. I'm surprised that the kid survived. They had to get the paramedics there quick. If the kid makes it; he may never be able to live on his own.

You weren't saying "Daddy ate my nose," ironically?

Because "Daddy ate my eyes," is on my list of things that are infinitely sad.

skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage and that one third of the child's nose had been severed.The child is in stable condition at Oakland Children's Hospital.Police say they are still trying to determine how the skull fracture and brain hemorrhage occurred.

He shook the kid hard, that giant farking asshole. The nose can be re-attached, or worst case scenario, the kid is physically disfigured for life. Skull fracture and brain hemorrhage might mean the kid has permanent brain damage.

I don't think you can fracture a skull by shaking. Neck and back trauma, sure. But my guess is that this guy slammed the kid against something hard.

Nope. No irony here. This one is pretty sad too.

I wouldn't be surprised if the kid lost an eye because of this; you see this kind of thing in shaken babies. The kid might recover; a young brain can recover from something that would scramble an older brain. There is some hope for the little guy; but, it's a very slim chance.

/ my mom is a physical therapist; she has some pretty horrific stories

Mystery Vortex:Hurt people hurt people. Years ago someone else decided that baby Joshua Cooper was also a punching bag. The difference is that that time nobody cared and nobody helped. Things like this are cyclical.
